In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I welcome everyone into these races. My campaign has never been about the other candidates in the race, but rather my love for our state and the work before us to deliver better wages, affordable healthcare, safe housing, and quality childcare for all.”

Multiple write-in campaigns launched following Delaware congressional candidate's transphobic remarksSep 22, 2026 · Press · WHYY · source

“Biotechnology is helping shape the future of health care, agriculture, and our economy, but we must do more to prepare the next generation to lead in this critical field. The bipartisan Biotechnology for All High School Students Act would help close that gap by expanding access to biotechnology education and equipping students with the skills to continue driving innovation in Delaware and across the country. I'm grateful to Rep. McCormick for his partnership and look forward to advancing this legislation together.”

“I am voting for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution because I believe this war is wrong. But regardless of the merits of the mission, the Constitution is clear: the power to take our nation to war belongs to Congress. That safeguard exists for a reason — to prevent reckless decisions that put American servicemembers' lives at risk without a clear national purpose.”
